I'm sorry, but when putting this in music, I realize this is (maybe) not
enough. Just consider a typical test case:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
          (setq org-capture-templates
                `(("m" "Mail" entry
                   (file+headline "~/Personal/refile.org" "Tasks")
                   "* TODO %:subject%? (from %:fromname) :mail:
   :PROPERTIES:
   :Created: %:date-timestamp-inactive
   :END:
   SCHEDULED: %:date-timestamp

%i

>From %a"
                   :empty-lines 1 :immediate-finish)))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

I now have a full timestamp (date and time) for when the mail has been sent
(or received?). That's really great.

Though, for the scheduling part, I don't need a full timestamp: I just want to
specify when (which day) I intend to work on it, and reply to it. There, it'd
be cool to have a timestamp with only date and day of the week (no time).

Does this make sense?

Best regards,
  Seb
